Exhibition catalogue for Takis’ exhibition of electromagnetic sculptures and other kinetic works (November-December 1966).

The exhibition coincided with the publication of the “Turned On” issue of Art & Artists (December 1966), which featured an ad. for the show and an article on Takis (item #72).
Light creasing to wrappers, o/w Very Good plus. Miles notes in his bibliography of William Burroughs that “a variant cover lacks the illustration of Takis’ sculpture”.
